Near Harrisonburg, May 19th.
. . . How I do desire to see our country free and at peace!
It appears to me that I would appreciate home more than I have ever done
before. Here I am sitting in the open air, writing on my knee for want of a
table. . . . Yesterday Dr. Dabney preached an excellent sermon from the text: “Come
unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” It
is a great privilege to have him with me.
